How to Stay Safe When Using APS Services

When making transactions, it's important to stay vigilant to avoid potential scams. Below are some common warning signs and tips to help you stay safe:

APS employees will NEVER:
Contact you via phone, social media, or messaging apps.
Ask you to transfer funds from one account/wallet to another.
Ask you to install apps or software on your device.
Take control of your device by remotely accessing it.
If anyone asks you to do any of the above, report the incident immediately to your local authorities or police. You can also share details of the incident with APS Support to help us protect other users.

Be Skeptical of Guaranteed Profits

• Legitimate companies do not guarantee profits or big returns. Be cautious of anyone who promises high returns—it’s likely a red flag.
• APS is not affiliated with brokers. If someone claims to be an APS broker, it is likely a scam, and engaging with them puts your funds at risk.

Avoid Suspicious Payment Requests

• Legitimate businesses typically do not demand upfront payments or specific payment methods under pressure.
• Research services thoroughly by checking reviews on trusted platforms like Google or Trustpilot before proceeding.

Keep Personal and Financial Details Private

• Avoid sharing sensitive information, such as passwords, 2FA codes, or account details, with anyone claiming to represent APS.

Recognize Common Scams

How to Avoid:
